Recruit Lists v2.0

Maybe, maybe not. It's not like Fred is bringing in schmucks.

I'm certainly not obsessed with it or anything, don't get me wrong, but I really feel we'll regret not getting Jok now that he's healthly.

I don't think it was a matter of not wanting Jok. Seems pretty clear now that we backed off of Jok after the Lefty stuff went down. Nothing could be done about it, so no use in dwelling on it.

Did Jok lack of recruiting have something to do with our extra phonecalls?

 

[Knownothing]

Jok is not a top 150 recruit for a reason.

Did Jok lack of recruiting have something to dop with our extrra phonecalls?

The report we released about the phone calls stated that Iowa State stopped recruiting some athletes. Jok is pretty much confirmed as one. I would say the other one is Abrahamson.

So lets all realize the REAL losers in this whole mess are Jok that had to go to Iowa City and Abrahamson.

I was reading on gopherhole that Calipari is planning a big push for Vaughn and Vaughn is interested in playing with another recruit that is a UK lock. Figured it would be a matter of time. At least there are so many other high profile guys we are chasing to make up for the heartache.

Probably along with Okafor and Jones b/c why not hog all the 5 star recruits?

I marked Vaughn off my mental list quite a while back. Not based on any inside info. or anything. Just reading the tea leaves. If I'm wrong what could be better?

Me too! Has Vaughn committed to a prep school yet? I would love to get Abu/Terrell or Johnson/Cunningham. I hope Travis writes something about Johnson and Turner's visit. Did their visits overlap at all?

Could say we phoned it in.

Seems like some articles say he hasn't developed the offensive game (yet) to be considered a Clyburn. Thinking more of a still growing shot blocker, etc. but not sure.

Well not yet obviously but the general consensus among recruitniks is that that's the type of role he projects to most. Also, as far as video goes the stuff that really matters is from the most recent AAU circuits. For his high school team he played post but for he's started to blossom at the wing since the summer AAU schedule began which has led to a dramatic increase in his ranking and interests, including ISU. It's possible he'll be used some in the post but I see his ultimate role as being much closer to that of Clyburn than Ejim or Niang.

I mean....I wouldn't mind another Will Clyburn like player on a team in the future.

Makes me wonder if Fred's known ability as a shooter has him keeping ISU at the top. As someone who likes to shoot the ball, you'd have a hard time passing on what he can do for your game.

If it is so clear we backed off of Jok because of Lefty why did nobody else offer him besides Drake and Iowa? I mean Creighton didn't offer the kid and I can only assume we didn't because of the lack of talent

I can assure you that it no longer matters why.

I agree just think it's absurd someone thinks that's the reason why we didn't offer a kid nobody else wanted.

It's not absurd when there's evidence of the possibility.

Well then we can assume anyone Lefty ever coached/mentored with didn't get offered because of recruiting violations

Don't get your panties in a bunch. Either way it's not worth getting worked up over.
